Mission: To shift the paradigm on Oil Spill Cleanup from the failed "Skim, Boom, Burn and Disperse" narrative that turned the Gulf spill from a managable problem into an environmental nightmare, to a natural, earth friendly, and fast solution that protects the environment, contains the spill rapidly and recovers the resource. This is the Sorbent-Based Technology solution.
The X-Prize in their final rules excluded all technologies except those related to the failed skimmer technologies of the Gulf Spill. Only 3% of the oil in the Gulf was recovered using these technologies, despite the fact that skimmers and booms had a virtual exclusive on the methods of containment and cleanup.
